Manufacturer's Description for Roland Micro Cube RX Battery-Powered Guitar Amplifier

The Roland Micro Cube RX Battery Powered Modeling Guitar Amp is small in size and huge on sound! This new battery-operated stereo amp delivers a powerful punch at an affordable price.

This compact and road-rugged amp comes equipped with legendary JC-Chorus sound, eight built-in COSM amps, six digital effects, stereo Delay and Chorus, 3-band EQ and a chromatic tuner for perfect intonation. An onboard Rhythm Guide allows players to choose from an assortment of groovin' beats for practice purposes, but more importantly-play-along fun and creative jam sessions.

Thanks to the custom speakers and new amp technology featuring Roland's proprietary drivers, these new amps are extremely efficient making them the perfect amp to use when practicing at home. Since the new Micro Cube RX can run on battery or AC power, you can take it virtually anywhere.

The dual-purpose Phones/Recording output allows you to plug-in a set of headphones for private practice sessions, or connect directly into a stereo mixer or recording device for accurate and simple signal transfer directly from the Micro Cube RX.

The Micro Cube RX's input lets players plug in a guitar or microphone while the stereo AUX input accepts input from iPods(R), CD players, or musical instruments for signal blending.

AC adaptor is included.

Meet the Micro Cube RX - small, loud, proud, and in true stereo! These little amps overachieve with serious bombast in a small body. You won't believe how much these little amps can deliver through their stereo power amps and newly developed custom speakers, four per RX.

Features

Stereo power amplifiers and four newly developed 4-inch (10cm) speakers

Eight COSM amps, six digital effects

Rhythm Guide function for practical rhythm training

Stereo AUX input for CD/MP3 player, Phones/Recording out

A New Prescription for Guitar Tone, Power and Portability

New Speaker Tech
Consider them the ultimate compact amps with high-quality, powerful sound. The cutting-edge speakers used in the Micro Cube RX are custom designed and built specially for these amps.

Stereo Power Amps
With two specially made power amps and four speakers, the RX amp produces an immersive, stereo sound that must be heard to be believed. The true stereo engine also allows bass tones that defy the size of the cabinet.

Battery Drive
The Micro Cube RX can run on battery or AC power (AC adapter included).

COSM Amps & Digital Effects
Guitarists and bassists have come to rely on Roland and BOSS for the best effects in the world. The Micro Cube RX benefits from this world-leading technology, offering eight built-in COSM amps, six digital effects, three band EQ, and a chromatic tuner.

Immersive Stereo FX
The Micro Cube RX's onboard stereo effects benefit from Roland's decades of industry-leading R&D. Experience the amazing spatial depth and lush sound of the stereo Chorus and Reverb.

Rhythm Guide
The metronome is a music-student's best friend, but that numbing clank, clank, clank can get irksome. That's where the Micro Cube RX's Rhythm Guide comes in handy. It's like having a drummer inside your amp. Choose from an assortment of groovin' patterns to practice with. Improve your timing while having a more enjoyable musical experience, or just have fun jamming along to the beats.

Outputs
The Phones/Recording output serves two purposes: Plug in a set of headphones and enjoy private practice with lush, stereo sound, or plug directly into a stereo mixer or recording device for accurate signal transfer directly from the Micro Cube RX.

Inputs
The Micro Cube RX's line input lets you plug in a guitar, bass, or microphone. In addition, the stereo AUX input accepts input from an iPod, a CD player, or musical instrument so you can blend its signal with your own. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Roland products.

4 out of 5 (7 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "REALLY NICE LITTLE AMP"
Sound: Sound wise its really really nice. I use it for acoustic guitar with a mc in the mic setting. Also use the same mic for vocals at the same time. I did plug a Strat into it to see what it did. It is amazing. You really get a vast variety of amazing sounds, and loud sounds if you crank it. The drum machine is total fun and useful. It has a volume control which is very nice. If you jam with players that tend to speed up this will keep the group straight. LOL. Tilting the amp back makes a big difference in getting the sound out. Feature: Cant say enough. If you cant find something you like here than give up. Ease of Use: Great Quality: Always top notch from Roland Manufacturer Support: Never had a Roland or Boss product go down. The Wow Factor: Total sex. I used it playing out and several pretty girls came up and asked where I got the cute little amp.
Style of Music: Acoustic

"Nope, Roland almost had a hit... butthe micro cube RX falls pretty short."
Sound: Wow, I was really disappointed with the micro cube RX.. like the review before mine, I was and am a big fan of the original 2 1/2 watt micro cube. I really wanted a built in tuner and a little more volume, so the MC RX seemed like the ticket. Uhhhh, no, it was returned. It was very hard to dial in a sound that sounded as good as the original MC. The acoustic setting in the new RX sounded little more than a Roland JC clone, not at all acoustic like the original MC. The JC120 did sound fantastic on the RX, as did the mid-dirt channels. However the higher gain models only sounded good at low volumes. Punch the volume up (and there is a most noticeable boost in the amount of volume available) and the tones fall apart, and take a "boomy" and plastic quality. Another problem I had was with the EQ. Almost all of the models required the treble control to be 100%. To eliminate the boomy mud in the mids, the middle control had to really be cut back, and in a lot of cases, so did the bass control. Yuch! Very very hard to dial in a usable sound on just about any model. Feature: Liked the tuner! STILL - Roland, why is there no external control to turn the f/x on/off? I've accepted the fact that you give us hardly any control over the f/x, but it would be nice to stomp the f/x or delay/reverb on/off as needed during a tune. The stereo chorus sounded VERY NICE! Ease of Use: Hard to argue with the ease of use... easy to use as a toaster. Quality: Never had a Roland product take a crap on me. This one seemed as sturdy as all the other Roland products I've owned. Value: Could've been a HUGE winner for ROland, what with promise of sounding like it's little brother, only louder and with a tuner. Sadly, it's "newly designed" speakers don't do this amp any justice, and produce a sad, boomy/middy mess. Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: It's being returned...
